She is nothing but a drama queen exaggerating everything on the ground to further the US corporate M E DIA narrative and it appears to be working as you can see a lot of "smart" americans (including you) in this comment section doing what they do best i.e, to get fooled easily. I mean she is very excitingly telling that the taliban are firing shots in air to disperse the crowds (which is actually the right thing to do to avoid another influx of thousands of people into the airport like the previous time to avoid the tragedies that happened that time) but she will never tell you that the US troops actually fired shots at the people killing two during the previous influx into the airport. But somehow Taliban are the evil ones for not actually firing at the people but into the air.

@@anumkhan505 you’re willfully ignorant if you really believe there won’t be consequences for those and their families that helped America against the taliban. They’re simply saying what they think America wants to hear to get them out of the country. They also said that women would be educated despite that apparently not being allowed per extremist Muslim law. Grow up, Peter Pan.

[@kikokiko305]

Does not matter my friend, this man knows that, but he must let know to the American people that they have been left out in the enemy's hands. He can't hide from the Taliban because his friend or neighbor will sell him out to protect their own skin and family. So he knows what will happen once Americans are completely out of Afghanistan. I wish that the Taliban offer for amnesty is honest but I am skeptical about that but who knows, so far Taliban surprise me in many cases in a good/hoping way.

It’s been only 7 months since President Biden took office. In that time, he made quick work of reversing dozens of President Trump’s positive policies and positions, including Remain in Mexico, the asylum cooperation agreements with Central American countries, the Paris climate deal, and the Iran nuclear deal. At this moment, thousands of Americans are trapped in Afghanistan, while the Biden administration begs the Taliban to allow us to continue to evacuate our people. This is a shameful moment in American history and the images of desperate Afghans climbing onto U.S. military planes, risking their lives to get out of the country, will be burned into the brains of our allies around the world. Trust in the United States as a partner has been deeply shaken - and we are literally the ‘laughing stock’ of the entire world under Joe Biden.

Women are too scare to go out, the Talibans might beat them up if they see them out on the streets. Those women know the consequences so that's why you don't see many women out there. In the past during Taliban rules, women were beat up by Taliban militants. If women did not wear burqa or wear high heel out in the street, Taliban would beat them up too. Talibans are too extreme Muslims, they can't look at women straight to their faces. FYI, Talibans don't not rape women, if they do that those Talibans or any men there would be stoned or shot in the open field. The Taliban practice too extreme Islamic sharia laws that some of the Islamic laws they practiced are made up based on their old cultures or whatever. To me, they are not Islam because they made up some laws specifically applied to women. They impose those unnecessary laws to women.

It’s been only 7 months since President Biden took office. In that time, he made quick work of reversing dozens of President Trump’s positive policies and positions, including Remain in Mexico, the asylum cooperation agreements with Central American countries, the Paris climate deal, and the Iran nuclear deal. At this moment, thousands of Americans are trapped in Afghanistan, while the Biden administration begs the Taliban to allow us to continue to evacuate our people. This is a shameful moment in American history and the images of desperate Afghans climbing onto U.S. military planes, risking their lives to get out of the country, will be burned into the brains of our allies around the world. Trust in the United States as a partner has been deeply shaken - and we are literally the ‘laughing stock’ of the entire world under Joe Biden.

She approaches the roadside Taliban crew with Light-Machine-Guns and asks them "though" questions on the spot. This is such an *ORCHESTRAED DRAMA* by CNN. The reality is there there is no political crises here in the USA. The Americans left safely and ended the unnecessary military/foreign spending on Afganistan to the tune of $300-million/day (PER DAY) for the last 20 years. The advanced weaponry given to the Afganistan military magically found its way to Syrian ISIS, Kashmiri Lashkar, Sudanese Islamic terror groups, and the list goes on. The sooner we (Americans) stop this madness, the better. We need to spend that money on our own healthcare infrastructure.
